Houghton has had an emotional time in the house after being reunited with ex-husband Samuel Preston , though looks unlikely to leave this week after becoming the bookie’s second favourite – after Brian Dowling – to win the competition.

Others up for eviction are Makosi, Nadia, Nick, Nikki and Ulrika.

The two who receive the most votes will leave the house at the end of the week.

‘Nasty’ Nick Bateman , who’s developed a bit of a ‘bromance’ with Big Brother 5’s Victor Ebuwa, has been questionably pleasant during his second run in the house and may be up for eviction due to his dullness, rather than his previous nastiness.

Favourites to leave are Makosi and Nadia, while Nick and Chantelle are the long shots in the eviction race.
